Royal Love Of Music.
From an Interview with M. strakosch

From an Interview with M. strakosch
"The bomb-ridden Czar of Russii
beguiles the interims of time while he
is not dodging Nihilstic missiles by
playing on the French horn, will
which instrument he is an adept. Or
one occasion, while he was the Czaro
witz he played French horn obligato
to a song given by Nine. Nilsson
When His Imperial Majesty last visited
Copenhagen he attended concert in
which Nilsson sang the same air, and
he was affected to tears by the memor
les of time when he could toot his
horn in peace, undisturbed by revolu-
tionary subjects and the cares of gov.
ernment. When the late King Victor
Emanuel visited the small cities of his
realm one of his first questions always
was regarding the condition of the
opera-house. If there was none he
would suggest and aid in the construc-
tion of one, even in towns having no
greater population than three thousand
inhabitants. / always feel an affection
for the King, for he gave me this deco
ration-the cross of San Maurizo de
Lazzaro-after a series of concerts Civ
en- by Patti in Florence. Victor Eman-
uel was protector of Verdi, and made
the composer Senator. although the
composer had no longing for political
honors. His son, King Humbert, pays
subsidy of 10000 francs a year out
of his own personal income to the
Apollo Theatre of Rome. Ex-Queen
Isabella of Spain used to sing very
well, but, her voice being no longer
fresh, she now has preference for
instrumental music. The Queen of
Belgium is very fond of music, and by
her efforts she has contributed much
TO the progress made in musical art iu
Belgium of late years The emperor
of Austria disburses over 100000
francs year TO the Vienna Opera
House, it being lis idea that his capi-
tai should have an opera-house to rival
the Grand Opera of Paris.

Free Trade.

The reduction OF internal revenue and the
taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary
Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited
the consumers, as well as relieving the bur
den Of home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Cr<<n's august EozVrv
and Bosehee's German Syrup, as the reduc.
lion Of thirty.six cents per dozen has been
added to increase the size Of the bottles con.
tanning these remedies. thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the rs cent size. The
august F7oaoer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com.
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps. the larg.
est sale Of any medicines in the world. The
advantage OF increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civil
ICED countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain the same sise.

More storm A..

Last Thursday the snow again began to
fall and the wind to blow. Only few inches
fell here. but it drfted badly and when the
C.&C. train came in from Hawthorne in the
afternoon 1t found 1t impossible to get to the
Mound House, the snow drifts on the track
near the water tank being from four to five
feet deep. The train backed down to Day.
ton and the crew remained here over night.
Word was sent to the Mound House, and a
snow pillow was sent out to clear the track,
the plow succeeded in forcing its way through
that night, but the train did not leave here
until after 7 O'Clock Friday morning. The
south.bound train came in from the Mound
House all right yesterday morning. bu.
brought no mail, as the v. & T. express was
still waiting for the c. P. train at Reno.
Heavy storms are reported on the c. P. in
the Sierras. The mail will be in this morn.

EemeralSla Items.

The following items Of interest are taken
from the Walker Lake Bulletin Of last Wed.
nesday:
Snow in Hawthorne District is eighteen
inches deep.
The mill at Silver Peak is being enlarged
to make room for concentration.
A bear and two California lions are lodg.
ing near Coryville and the hunters are get
ting ready for an expedition.
If everything moves along as smoothly as
Ut present. the Mount Diablo mill at Soda
Springs will be ready to begin work on
March 10th.
The big mill at Mount Cory viii be start
ed up about the first of April, at which time
the company will have large quantity Of
ore on hand.
The Georgene mine is now in active eper-
alton. The hosting works are finished and
everything is running smoothly. Ore is
coming out rapidly and the mine is looking
better every day.
Recently, in sinking a we'll near indie
pendence, blue gravel was found. A strong
stream of water drove the workmen out, but
it is probable that as soon as arrangements
for pumping can be effected, there will be
some mining done to determine whetheI
there is any gold in that gravel.

Yesterday afternoon. Omer Stallard and
Jack Hepworth, started out to take sleigh
ride. They started for Silver City, but
when about halfway they changed their
minds. and on tur ming around to come home
the sleigh tipped over and broke the single
tree. freeing the horse, who came home and
left the sleigh and its occupants on the road.
No damage done.
About half an hour after Fred Strauss had
a tipover, and his horse got away and ran
down Main street at lively rate, dragging
the sleigh after him. He turned down Pike
street and then came back towards the barn,
en- route to which he came near wrecking the
porch Of the Sazerac saloon.

Mere lmventions.

A TIMES reporter was shown the model
OF an invention by Mr.. A. II. Eysaman this
week which appears to have merit. The
contrivance 10 said to be an improvement on
a portion Of DR.. Rae's electric machine,
and is intended to take the place Of the iron
circle used by DR.. Rae as the medium
through which an electric current is created
in the settlers. Instead OF being made oi
iron it is composed OF sheets Of copper and
zinc. Mr.. Eysaman claims that the material
OF which his continuance is made forms Of
itself battery, and will therefore assist in
amalg amation. He has applied for patent.

the exciting liquid from getting between the

A SUGGESTION.

1t is reported that there is an immence amount
OF snow on the Como road. This road was
repaired last Summer at considerable cost to
the county. In short time warm weather
will melt the sonws now lying on the hills and
the water will come down the Como road in
great quantities. and probably do constable
damage, at the present time il q few embank-
ments were thown across the road and bitches
cut in the side at intervals Of 100 yards, it
would probably save considerable Of the road
from being washed out. 1t will cost but a
small sum now-say $zs or 3o-while it may
cost hundred or more to repair the road
after the foods. An ounce Of prevention is
worth q pound Of cure.
